About this book
Spanning the Song of Roland to Victor Hugo's Toute la Lyre, Edward Dowden's survey of French writing fits a whole national literature into one compact volume. He treats the Middle Ages first, then each century from the sixteenth to the nineteenth, leaving Provençal out because it stands outside literature in French.
Dowden, then professor of English literature in Dublin, says openly that he drew on the best French historians of the subject and rewrote their findings as his own. It is the second of the Short Histories of the Literatures of the World edited by Edmund Gosse, first issued in 1897.
